I’ve finally just finished Fairlady Volume 1, a graphic novel that on paper is right up my alley.

According to GoodReads I started this 3rd January and marked it ‘finished’ 18th. It does not take me 15 days to read a graphic novel but this one lay untouched on my bedside for much of that time.

The five stories are somewhat self contained with an over arching story woven through, but I just couldn’t bring myself to care about anyone and I really wanted to like the main character, Jenner Faulds, but dang it, there was no spark! I often it felt like panels or pages were missing which confused the life out me, added to that I was so unengaged, I FEEL ASLEEP READING IT… TWICE!

It’s safe to say I’ll donating this one to a charity shop or local nerd club and not trying any future volumes.

Fair for a one shot book and not an ongoing series. The story of Hades and Persephone has been majorly changed and abridged which is fine but it does seem to go from “oh no, I can’t love her” to “lets have sexy times in this spring” with very few pages in between.

Honestly could have done with more but that’s personal preference as a person who loves character development and sexy times.

First Lynsey Sands book and first Paranormal Romance I had ever read and I've never looked back!

Fun and creative it's a fantastic gateway book into the genre and author. It's remained a firm favourite quite a few years now and world highly recommend it.
